TOUGH TO KILL on reg. 1 DVD

Jayson says:Quite the poor release, no extras, just a few chapter stops. Interlaced widescreen transfer. No burned-in subtitles, unless they were "matted-over" by the widescreen bar. Released by "Italian Stallion", distributed by Ventura Distribution.

Big thanks goes out to Jayson for the info and screen grabs. Cheers, mate!

Picked up an R4 edition today that is some sort of pro-bootleg I guess, it has the Italian Stallion logo in the corner for a few seconds over the title so perhaps it's the same as the R1. Letterbox but the quality is pretty average.

Hey, I've got the Canadian big clamshell of this tape that Jayson from Ghoulish Decadence has. Never seen it before or since. It's one of D'amato's best. Reminds me a bit of Fontana's "Dirty Seven" in it's harshness. I love that shit, early 80s African Bush War, un-politically correct, Soldier of Fortune shit. I guess I won't be buying this DVD then....Those matted "widescreen" discs are an abomination.

Bikini girls with machine guns

Yep, this video is from the one they're watching in Tarantino's JACKIE BROWN. It's an awesome video; I mean all it is is a bunch of scantly clad sexy babes with automatic guns going: "This is an AK47" pow pow pow pow
- Haha. Absolutely fantastic! xD.

NICK NICHOLSON about this blog:"Then we have Jack Jensen's WHEN THE VIETNAM WAR RAGED... IN THE PHILIPPINES, for those of you who don't know Jack, he is a very serious collector of the stuff that was made in the Philippines. Actually to say serious is an understatement. He is totally rabid about it!"

Where to download these movies???

Sometimes readers ask were they can download the films mentioned on this blog. I'm afraid I can't help you. Most of these films are old video tapes that I've spent months, and sometimes years, on tracking down. I'm simply not interested in downloading movies and I have no clue as to where you can do that. I want to own real releases. On a rare occasion I might swap a dvd-r with someone (or nice readers send me dvd-r's for free).If you wish to try and track down the old video releases I would recommend eBay, Amazon, and Cinehound forum's trade section.
